We kept the milking cows in the barn from Nov thru
April until the weather was warm. We cleaned the barn twice daily where the milking cows were. Once daily for the young stock and horse barn.

Cows eat and drink alot when milking and this creates a lot of manure. There's a lot of problems today with run off where manure has been applied into the streams. My late dad would turn over in grave if he knew what milk is selling for
by the gallon in the stores. My nephew said their
store is charging $4.59 per gallon. Big changes
came around here in the East and probably nationwide with the milking industry. You had quit using cans, had to put in storage tanks for the milk and go to milking parlors. A lot of farmers got out of dairy farming. We never had any exercise pens. Our neighbor had one and that trampled manure was heck to get out. He used an ensilage fork to load his spreader. He was all man an got just like leather in the summer. Hal
